BPR Engineering is now manufacturing Residue Managers to suit John Deere disc seeders and box drills.
- The "Aricks Wheel" is an enormous time saver and basically no-till!
- Eliminating steps such as burning off, working-up
- Minimal soil disturbance resulting in no new weed growth, less chemical application
- More consistent and even seed placement
- Greatly reduces the risk of 'hair pinning'
- Easy to install to John Deere 60/90 series
- Currently fit the John Deere 1590/1890 &1895 Series openers, can be adapted to suit other makes of disc openers
- Very beneficial in the correct placement of small seed i.e. Canola, Clover, Lucerne and Fertilizers
- Dramatic increase in the percentage of germination, therefore increasing soil carbon levels
- Assist greatly with moving damp straw from rain or heavy dews, allowing less downtime from wet conditions
